Maybe explain to him that he wasn't actually sick, especially since nobody under 60+ gets those symptoms anyway... plus, if he really saw the average age on the ward was around 40 with young people on ventilators, then he's clearly lying. You know the truth better than anyone ☕

Who ever said people under 60 don't get symptoms? Nobody said they don't die either; it's just that they don't die as often as the elderly.

With any illness, there are always severe cases and mild ones.

I had two bouts of pneumonia myself. One time I was stuck in bed for 15 days with a fever ranging from 99 to 103 degrees. Not a single day was lower. The cough was unbearable. Non-stop, morning till night, for 15 days straight. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

The second time, I recovered in maybe 4 or 5 days. I don't remember the exact details.

Do people die from pneumonia? Yes. Do young people die? Yes.

Do people die from the flu? Yes. Do young people die? Yes.

Do people die from COVID-19? Yes. Do young people die? Yes.

I guess I don't see your point. Are you saying if someone catches COVID-19, they should just start preparing their six-foot-deep grave?

You have those two brothers who were among the first to get sick and they aren't claiming COVID-19 is some apocalyptic event... why not mention them?

Is COVID-19 bad? Sure, it is. People die from it.

But you're acting like catching this is the absolute worst thing that can happen to a person. You're even implying someone said people under 60 don't show symptoms, but I don't recall anyone ever saying that.

Try presenting the other side of the story.

It isn't all black and white.

If you really don't want to catch it, stay home and don't move, and you'll be safe.

And prepare to stay home for two years, unless you think this is just going to magically vanish on its own.

Luka Bulic 🤣🤦

And you just justify everything involving the Catholic Church, don't you?

Look, I’m a believer, but this is just straight-up stupidity.

We’re supposedly forced to attend these processions.

Bravo. Round of applause, I guess.

You can't even sit in a park without the Police chasing you off, yet a procession is perfectly fine.

The guy is calling people to church, while the Pope is out there holding Mass in front of zero people.

I suppose that’s what happens when you think you're a bigger Pope than the Pope himself.

mellowotter36 said:If there are only 500 people surveyed, how can the mortality rate be 0.37%?

One out of 500 is 0.2%. Two out of 500 is 0.4%. So how does that math work?

Maybe one died, and one is on life support.

They actually took the call 🤣

But they didn't show up. For what? ☕

Vila 🙏🙏

All that matters is they went after his sister at the care facility 🙏🙏

GQ, just hit enter here and there if you don't mind 😉

good post, though 👍

What exactly is the administration basing this claim on regarding the loosening of restrictions?

I wonder how Villa views her role at the nursing home?

The director is just another cog in the machine, completely unchecked by the administration.

An employee at the facility lost her life.

Just another loyal soldier for the Villa.

The command center gave the green light.

Headquarters 🙏

it really brings me back to the legendary Danil Stojković, especially how they emphasize certain words in that exact same way 🤣

ugh, just an American spy 🙏🙏🙏

I might actually give it another watch

For years, the nation has been numbed by endless reality TV and trashy mainstream media, leading to this blatant, transparent sycophancy toward the political elite. But nothing hits harder than when Vučić shows up on Pink or PBS just to play the part.

Macron invited him to his Picasso room 🙏 , some guy from the West 🤣

This level of blatant sucking up didn't just happen by accident. I guess they're all on the payroll.

Setting aside the whole pandemic situation, this meeting between the administration and certain media outlets is pretty dangerous.

Anyway, since shops are staying open until 8 PM now, I suppose that's not an issue anymore? 🤷

Who knows? Maybe. 😍

Michelle Palmer6 said:Man, where on earth do you live? For weeks now, the entire conversation has been nothing but "how do we boost tourism" and "how do we save those poor struggling restaurant owners." Newsflash: we are a service-based economy!
Honestly, thank God we didn't need a massive pandemic to hit the reset button on this whole mess.

Reset my ass.

Honestly, this guy is such a find.

The way he absolutely dismantles Vučić is wild.🤣

It would be pretty great if we actually had our own version of John Oliver here in the States.

brightpilot6 said:I can't help but wonder if those who dismiss this whole thing as just a "mild flu" or claim there are "bigger problems to worry about" would actually have the guts to act on their convictions if they were the ones sitting in the Oval Office.

That is to say, would they really be willing to gamble everything, despite the fundamental lack of understanding regarding the virus and its actual impact, based solely on flawed and incomplete statistics?

It’s remarkably easy to play the provocateur when you aren't the one left holding the bag when things go wrong.

And it's just as easy to lecture people about any problem when you aren't the one tasked with fixing it.

It’s easy to tell someone who has never placed a bet in their life that they shouldn't gamble, or to judge why their friend does.

It was easy for those journalists to play tough and say, "You should ask Mamić this or that," but I honestly wonder how many of them would actually step up and face him themselves.

It's easy to throw stones when you aren't the one in the line of fire.

Just grab a mask and you'll be fine, I guess.

I'm a solid 5 on this, I think I get your point, but I just don't see the logic in working until 5 p.m.

Like I said, if it actually makes sense, they should just wrap things up by 1 p.m.

wiredrider9 said:seriously, you gotta buy meat and bread? relax, nothing's gonna happen to you. just bake your own bread—it'll be better, healthier, and way cheaper—instead of trying to source yeast through some black market deal somewhere.🤣

I don't touch bread; I stick to meat. I guess some people just can't function without their carbs. 🤷

Take your example, for instance. I guess you could ask why they don't just put the people commuting from out of town—say, someone driving from a suburb into downtown Chicago—on the first shift.

Maybe they should just cap the number of people working at the store. It’s way too crowded right now anyway. If they shifted the hours to run from 8 AM to 8 PM and actually redistributed the shifts properly, I guess everyone would end up with an extra day off. Maybe that would work.

It’s just stupid. You clock out at 5:00 PM, realize you forgot to pick up something essential for dinner, and suddenly you're stuck. You have nowhere to go. You're just stranded.

A friend sent me a photo from two days ago showing a line outside a 24-hour CVS. It was crazy—people stretching out at least a hundred yards down the street. And that was only around 6:00 PM. I guess things are getting pretty desperate.

edit:

I don't really care if they work until 5 PM or if they wrap things up by 1 PM, assuming that actually makes sense. I just don't see the point. What's supposed to happen during those three extra hours, anyway?
